Lithuanian Jewish heritage is extensively mapped, and the educational landscape is well-established. The ESJF offers two key contributions here: the specific focus on cemeteries, and an emphasis on reaching students in schools further away from the urban centres.
Teacher training will take place in targeted schools in Lithuania. A professional educator from the Jewish Community in Lithuania (LŽB) will advise and prepare teachers to bring Jewish history to their classes, with a direct focus on local cemetery sites. Students will visit the Jewish Museum in Vilnius and, later, their local cemetery. They will prepare presentations about what they have learnt, which will then be evaluated by the educator.
